Mary Ford’s SG Sells for $90K on <em>Pawn Stars</em>

The Pawn Stars were lucky enough to pick up a piece of history on a recent episode of the reality series. Mary Ford’s nephew came into the shop to deal a cream, 1961 Gibson SG that once belonged to the singer and, of course, her famous ex-husband Les Paul.

The Huffington Post reports that Ford’s nephew also brought a bunch of documents to confirm the guitar’s authenticity – as well as Les’s famously unenthusiastic response to the SG. After standing firm on his asking price (reminding the buyers, “You’re getting history here”), the guitar sold for $90,000.

Pawn Stars airs Mondays on the History Channel. Check out the clip here.
